COPS ALLEGE DRIVE-THROUGH DRUG SALES
NOVATO (Reuters) -- The night manager of a Marin County Burger King was
arrested early Friday for allegedly using the drive-through window to sell
an item definitely not on the menu -- cocaine.
Lt. Dennis McQueeny of the Sheriff's Department in Marin County said Sadik
Sufi was arrested after undercover officers observed drive-through drug
sales taking place.
"He'd put (the cocaine packet) in a cup of ice and hand it out," McQueeny
said. "Some people clearly chose to get a hamburger while they were at it."
Police arrested Sufi, 26, and a Burger King customer, and charged them with
the drug transaction.
McQueeny said police believed Sufi had been using the restaurant's
drive-through window for drug sales for several months.
